Zeitgeist Films was founded in 1988 by co-Presidents Nancy Gerstman and Emily Russo.

Zeitgeist films are strongly auteur-driven and have a distinct visual style and unique content.

The Zeitgeist film library also includes hugely popular documentaries such as INTO GREAT SILENCE, THE CORPORATION and BALLETS RUSSES as well as films by such renowned directors as Atom Egoyan, Todd Haynes, Francois Ozon, Derek Jarman, Yvonne Rainer, Abbas Kiarostami, Deepa Mehta, Christopher Nolan, Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay.
